Kayah Li Children's Story Books
In the refugee camp, elementary school children learn to read and write in the Kayah Li language. Below, you will find a series of books that can be downloaded and printed. We have edited and revised the content to make them more natural, added an English translation and colored the pictures. If you have a good laser printer, see if you can use the booklet feature when printing. This will produce the books in a book form for reading, complete with page numbers.. You can either download the three books or the smaller versions by topic.

Introduction:
We hope you enjoy the above stories in Kayah. The stories are about listening to your parents, being faithful and kind, bad habits to avoid, good examples, reconciliation and getting along with each other. Each story has been edited and an English translation has been added. Students can practice reading and also learn English. Teachers can use the questions in the stories to challenge their students to analyze the story's meaning. You can also download just two or three stories below. |
